SEAL TO RELEASE BRAND NEW STUDIO ALBUM '7' ON NOVEMBER 6TH VIA REPRISE RECORDS - ONLINE

Tuesday, 15 Sep 2015 - 4:05 pm

Burbank, CA — Multi-platinum, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Seal will release a brand-new studio album, entitled 7, on November 6th via Reprise Records. The album is now available for pre-order at all participating retailers. Two new songs “Every Time I’m With You” and “Do You Ever” are available everywhere digital music is sold.

On 7, Seal explores love and all of its
implications, idiosyncrasies, and intricacies — subject matter he began to
delicately approach as early as 2013, knowing exactly where he wanted to go.
“The album concerns the most sung about, most talked about, and most documented
emotion — love,” Seal says. “I tried to capture all of the wonderfully
different dynamics of love, whether it’s the anger, the acceptance, the bliss,
the sadness, the elation, or the recklessness. It’s this emotion and the ways
it makes us feel. It’s about the extreme joy and the extreme regret as well as
all of the crazy things love makes us do.”

In order to properly tell this tale, Seal reunited with his
longtime collaborator, the producer Trevor Horn, continuing a storied
partnership that began with his debut, 1991’s platinum-certified Seal,
followed by the quadruple-platinum Seal II(1994), the
gold-selling Human Being (1998), Seal IV (2003),
and most recently Soul 2 (2011).

“We barely spoke about music in the studio,” Seal says of
his time with Horn. “We talked more about life and our relationship over the
years. He just understands how to place my voice. On the one hand, you have
this elaborate production and signature of Trevor Horn, but you never lose
sight of what it is I’m saying. That’s the narrative. There’s no producer who
understands how to sustain and keep focused on the narrative of my voice and
what I’m trying to say better than Trevor does. He pushes me, and we left it
all on the court. He taught me a work ethic and approach to making records that
will stay with me until the day I die.”

Originally born in London, Seal’s inimitable voice was
first heard on Adamski’s 1991 club smash “Killer.” Another Top 10 hit “Crazy”
arrived shortly thereafter as Seal went on to achieve global acclaim with his
debut, even winning the

prestigious BRIT Award for “Best British Male” in 1992.
Hits such as “Kiss From a Rose” would turn him into a superstar as he
received three Grammy Awards in the categories of “Song of the Year,” “Record
of the Year,” and “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.” His worldwide album sales
exceed 30 million to date. Outside of the studio and beyond the stage, Seal
served as a coach on The Voice Australia during 2012 and 2013.
